George Galloway – Ready To Die

British Member of Parliament George Galloway talks to London Real about kissing the Blarney Stone, why he’s not as confident as he appears to be, how he cried when President Obama was elected, why idealism is his principal reason for being in politics, and how he is ready to die and can face his Judgement Day with pride.

“John F. Kennedy once said he got into politics because, ‘That’s where the action is.’ Why did you go into politics?” – Brian (00:30)

“Well they say that politics is show business for ugly people, but as I always say, what would I know about that?” – George (00:40)

“Idealism is my principal reason for being in politics. You may not agree with my ideals, but at least believe I genuinely hold them.” – George (01:52)

“We had some things in common with the Kennedy’s, but many of hundreds of millions of things not.” – George (05:31)

“It just struck me that they seemed to be playing checkers and you were playing chess.” – Brian (05:52)
